Subject: [PATCH RESEND] ethernet: stmmac: fix for none child queue node for tx node

In case of nothing to be set for tx node result in no child queue node
for the tx node, this patch init the queue to tx_queues_to_use instead
of 0 to support dt file set no queue node for tx node.

Something needs to initialize the settings
(plat->tx_queues_cfg[queue].#) to the defaults, no?
Just ignoring the error may not be enough.

Also has this ever worked? If you're trying to make the driver work for
DTs that never worked (and are arguably invalid) -- please change the
subject from "fix..." to "support...".

Subject: [PATCH V2] ethernet: stmmac: support driver work for DTs without child queue node

The driver use the value of property 'snps,rx-queues-to-use' to loop
same numbers child nodes as queues, such as:

gmac {
rx-queues-config {
snps,rx-queues-to-use = <1>;
queue0 {
// nothing need here.
};
};
};

Since a patch for dtc from rockchip will delete all node without any
properties or child node, the queue0 node will be deleted, that caused
the driver fail to probe:

rk_gmac-dwmac: probe of ffa80000.ethernet failed with error -22

This patch try to support driver work well for DTs without setting for
the child queue nodes and then have none child queue nodes.

Is this the in tree dtc? Do you have a commit hash for it? That should
probably be used as a Fixes: tag. Or that change to dtc needs
reverting because it breaks stuff.

Adding device tree list.

This is mostly a device tree issue, so the device tree Maintainers
should be part of the discussion.

So this has nothing to do with the kernel dtc, or the upstream
dtc. This is only a 'vendor crap' dtc which has been hacked?

Why should mainline care? Is there anything in the DT standard which
says the compiler can optimise out empty properties?

I think you mean tx, not rx, given the code.

Also what about the init to defaults I asked about?
